The study of physiological factors of hockey players: Related to training time Pages: 208-210 Mahindera (Research Scholar, Singhania University, Rajasthan) The purpose of this research was to investigate the rest value and post exercise situation (5, 30 60 minute) of athletes with heart rate, oxygen consumption, and blood lactic acid. The objectives for this research were 20 volunteer Hockey players, from Barkatullah University's division I and II Hockey players, whose average age was 21.6 + 1.83 years, average weight was 79.6+8.05 kg, and average height was 184.5+4.19 cm. During experiment, each subject rode the bicycle until completely exhaustion at a speed of 60 RPM and power of 150W that will increase by 30W for every two minutes until they feel totally exhausted. Observed the changes of heart Rate, oxygen consumption and blood lactate from the physiological biochemical serum specimens when the players were in resting state and recovery state after exercising ( 5, 30, 60 min.). The indices were measured by the Polar heart rate recorder, Vmax29 analytical instrument, and blood lactate acid analytical instrument (YSI2300). All the information was analyzed by a single factor which changed and explained by the Schffee' way, and the results as follow: 1. There was a significant difference between division I and II with the heart rate (174.4+7.9 vs. 186.4+4.5bpm, P<.05). 2. There was a significant difference between division I and division II with the heart rate in the post-exercise 30 minute (83.6+3.8 vs. 97.7+8.0bpm, P<.05). 3. There was a significant difference between division I and division II with the oxygen consumption maximal (55.4+1.1 vs. 48.7+1.7 ml/kg/min, P<.05). It was useful and helpful for the player and coach to manage the peak performance and to avoid the over training. It's is important for the coach and player to recover quickly and to keep a steady state. Read more Get Access
Mahatma Gandhi: The first victim of partition Pages: 211-212 Vikram Sharma (Faculty of Arts (Social Science & Humanities), Pacific University, Udaipur, Rajasthan) Gandhi had spent a couple of years touring India and refamiliarizing himself with his native country, he embarked on a mission to bring satyagraha to India. His end goal for India was liberation from the British Raj and self-government, and so he joined the nationalist movement that had already been organizing for several years. Gandhi's methods sparked media attention, and news of the events he organized was disseminated throughout the land. Whenever he was jailed, for example (which was often), the story would be placed in the headlines of major newspapers, making other Indians aware of the palpability and strength of the movement to liberate India. Independence was finally achieved on August 15, 1947, through the Indian Independence Act. The division of India ran counter to all his dreams and hopes for his homeland. He opposed the partitioning of the nation, believing that all of India's diverse subgroups, including Hindus, Muslims, Parsis, Sikhs, and others, could live peacefully together, as they had done for the centuries before the British Raj. Gandhi's views caused many to turn against him, especially radical Hindus, who believed he was betraying them, and the partition claimed its first victim Read more Get Access

Factors affecting teacher’s attitude toward inclusive education Pages: 224-227 Meenu Singh (Research Scholar, Sai Nath University, Ranchi, Jharkhand) Nirmala Devi (CR College of Education, Hisar, Haryana) Attitudes have great influence on people's behaviour. Attitudes represent relatively stable knowledge, emotions and reactions towards people, phenomena and situations (Rot, 1994). All these enable us, on basis of familiarity of attitudes, to relatively successfully predict their behaviour in different situations. For example, if we knew the attitudes towards children from marginalized groups, we would be able to predict whether teachers would have any feeling of pleasantness or unpleasantness when meeting children with disability. The component of willingness of an attitude includes readiness for a greater or smaller engagement. E.g. by examining teachers in both primary and secondary schools towards inclusion, we may learn to what extent teachers are ready to support the inclusion into educational system of children with disability and with other developmental problems. The present paper reviews factors affecting inclusive education among school teachers. Read more Get Access
Academic stress among adolescents: Factors and roles Pages: 228-231 Prabhjot Guron (Sai Nath University, Ranchi, Jharkhand) Taruna Malhotra (Vaish College of Education, Rohtak) Anything that discourages, decreases confidence or creates inhibitions among children can be termed as stress which can be caused by academics, interactions, fear of under achievement and rejection of thoughts and ideas and lack of motivation and encouragement.

Mustard Oil Biodiesel Properties and Exhaust Gas Analysis on Kirloskar Diesel Engine Pages: 19-23 Ram Rattan1, Manoj Kumar2 (Scholar of JJT University, Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan1, Somany (P.G.) Institute of Technology and Management, Rewari, Haryana2) Our work is mainly focused on exhaust gas emission analysis, when Mustard oil based biodiesel (methyl esters) and fossil diesel fuel were tested in direct injection Kirloskar diesel engine. Exhaust gas characteristics and analysis of fuel injection was cleared by analysis of experimental data. When Kirloskar Engine fuelled with Mustard oil based biodiesel had increased brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc) , moderate increase in carbon monoxide emission (CO), decrease in nitrogen oxides emission(NOx).Fuel consumption increase due to lower calorific value of biodiesel . When we analysis of combustion characteristics, it will aware about the earlier start of injection and shorter ignition delay period of biodiesel. Due to the earlier start of injection and shorter ignition delay period of biodiesel, decrease in maximum rate of heat release and due to cylinder pressure was the most probable reason for reduced emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx). From the analysis of data it is found that cetane index is not a proper indication of ignition quality of Mustard biodiesel. Our work also show the renewable applicability of Mustard oil used as biodiesel. But our main concentration to analysis the emissions characteristics and combustion characteristics of biodiesel.
